Note:

^***p < .001,

^**p < .01,

^*p < .05,

⁺p < .10. B are OLS coefficients for continuous body mass index and OR are odds ratios for dummy variables. A one-unit change corresponds to a 10 hour increase. Regressions also include birth month and year fixed effects. P-value represents the p-value for the F-test for the equality of the coefficient on maternal and spouse hours of employment. Standard errors are adjusted for the presence of siblings.
